Frozen II picture

Continuity mistake: When Anna's singing "The next right thing" she puts a bag on her shoulder, with the strap on top of her hair. After the camera spins round her, her hair is suddenly on top of the strap. This bears a strong similarity to the mistake in the original Frozen where Elsa's hair passes through her shoulder - might be a deliberate nod, or else animating hair around objects is difficult enough that shortcuts are often taken.

Rim of the World picture

Factual error: Dr. Fielding is dead inside the JPL building. His blood is dripping onto a telegraph key and it is sending perfectly comprehensive Morse Code. The blood drips are too random to do that. (01:13:25)

Suggested correction: It's clear he was alive at one point, and the way he has positioned shows he was probably already sending that. There was a break from him sending it, and it's clear the kids didn't understand the morse code, which could be the point his blood was dripping.

That could be. OK.

The Secret Life of Pets 2 picture

Factual error: With a number of flowers blooming, the movie appears take place in spring. There are many scenes of central park with flowering trees and shrubs in full bloom. However, the yellow blooming shrubs called forsythia do not bloom at the same time as the flowering cherry trees. Forsythias bloom about a month earlier than cherries and are usually the first items to bloom in spring.

The Addams Family picture

Plot hole: Throughout the movie, the behaviour of the gate does not seem quite consistent; Gomez has to feed meat to it to distract it to let the camera crew out...but they came in just fine and on their own. Same for the angry mob at the end.

Hustlers picture Video

Continuity mistake: At the ATM, when Ramona is pulling money out, you can see the reflection of a police car pull up behind her. It pulls up just as she begins to turn around and nobody is getting out in the reflection nor are lights on. But suddenly when she turns around several officers are already standing with guns trained on her and the lights on.

Kim Possible picture

Character mistake: It's merely training, but her opponents are hostile and want to exclude her from playing, so it's funny then that they don't call Kim out for her actions being egregious fouls; she brings the ball trapping it between her feet in multiple cartwheels (you can't just hold the ball between your feet for prolonged amount of times and 'carry' it). You could also say she kicks the ball at an opponent's face on purpose, which is equally unsporting. (00:24:00)

Missing Link picture

Factual error: The USA map is inaccurate for the year it is set in. It shows all states but in 1886, many of the northwest states (e.g. Montana, Idaho, the Dakotas) weren't states until 1889+.

Holiday In The Wild picture

Other mistake: The ex-husband makes out a check for $108,000 at the start of 2020 when Kate returns from Africa after Christmas, but it is dated 3/18/2019. (01:12:06)

Fighting with My Family picture

Factual error: The scenes set at Wrestlemania XXX (2014) were filmed at a RAW show in 2018 - fans are visible in the background wearing wrestling merchandise more recent than 2014.

Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles picture Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mistake picture

Continuity mistake: En route from the front door of Wayne's mansion to the table in the Batcave, the pile of pizza boxes in Alfred and then in Mike's hands continues to change in size and number: at first the pizza girl delivers 11 boxes, Mike slams on the table just 8, but he brought down the stairs twice that amount (without counting through freeze-frame the precise numbers, it's simply obvious at first glance that the pile is bigger in some shots and the pizzas themselves are pictured of inconsistent size).

Zombieland: Double Tap picture

Revealing mistake: At the start when they're clearing the White House field Little Rock shoots her gun without her finger on the trigger. (00:04:20)

Marriage Story picture Marriage Story mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the first scene at Grandma's house, she wakes Nicole and Henry up early, and tells him to go make mom some coffee. Between shots there are different continuity errors; at first the sheet is rumpled, then the blanket is covering it entirely, then when Grandma leans in and kisses him you can notice Scarlett's right arm first on her chest then behind her back, and Azhy Robertson's chest is uncovered in the second shot when he was still under the blanket up to his neck earlier. (00:15:40)

Spies in Disguise picture Video

Continuity mistake: When Lance is telling the guard at the start that he's going to throw his gun to the snowman behind them, the snowman that is there was not there in a previous shot and appeared from nothing.

Long Shot picture

Continuity mistake: In Sweden Charlotte leaves the dinner and exits outside to argue with Fred. There's a wide shot of them where wind is blowing and moves her fringe, messing her hair completely. In the close-up her hair is perfectly brushed.

Charlie's Angels picture

Continuity mistake: The new Bosley goes for a hug after reporting Edgar's demise. You can see as the hug begins that the sunglasses are not in Elizabeth Banks ' left hand, but it's where they end up when she says that "hugs work." (00:27:50)

Klaus picture

Continuity mistake: The two cucumber slices that Jesper puts in the palm of the Drill Sergeant change position between shots - in particular, in the close-up with Jesper walking away and putting the teacup in his hand as well, the two slices are side by side, while they are instead one on top of the other before and after. (00:02:25)

Vivarium picture

Other mistake: Aerial views of Yonder gave the impression that a basic grid pattern was used - parallel horizontal and parallel vertical lines that form right angles; yards were of equal area, either a square or rectangular lot. [However, some of the views from the couple's car as they were trying to find the exit showed some slightly curved roads that didn't fit the grid.] Following the sun as a way out, the couple was jumping over fence after fence - but they could've simply walked along perpendicular roads.

Suggested correction: But they tried getting out using the road by car, and they felt that the roads were causing them to go into a loop. So instead they take a route they know for sure is straight. Btw, Yonder isn't real so the way the roads bend and how the grids are made up is purely an optical illusion.

Walking (not driving) along the perpendicular fences would be the same difference only easier and less exerting. If/when they encountered a fence that looked different, that's when they could jump over it to see if it made a difference. How could they "know for sure" that the fences they were jumping over took them in a straight line? Also, they realised the clouds weren't real, so following something in the sky (the sun) was not necessarily a good idea. [This will be my only response here.].

A Rainy Day in New York picture

Continuity mistake: When Gatsby and Chan are talking in the taxi, her hair appears to be tucked behind her ear when the camera is on her left but it isn't when the camera is on the right. Every time the camera changes, the difference in her hair can be seen. (00:33:51)

Last Christmas picture

Factual error: The family supposedly left Ex-Yugoslavia (what part isn't made clear exactly) "because of the war", but the only conflict still going on there in 1999 (when the family is still there in the opening scene) was the NATO bombing of targets in Serbia in order to get the Serbs to lay off Kosovo, and that was long over by Christmas of that year.
